By Farr Irrewarra Pinot Noir 2021

Irrewarra is a winemaking project by Nick Farr, who is known for his exceptional Pinot Noir and Chardonnay at By Farr in Geelong. This time, Nick has sought out a new frontier in Western Victoria, near the small town of Irrewarra (150 kilometres west of Melbourne). The name Irrewarra, an Aboriginal term meaning ‘long spear throw’, is a nod to the traditional hunting and farming country found here. Cows, sheep, wheat, hay and woodland abound, and the region is characterised by lakes, volcanic plains and marshland. This elegant Pinot Noir has aromas of sweet and sour cherries, and an earthy and spicy element. It is a well structured wine with good acidity and fine soft tannins on the palate.
